The foliage and twigs of this tree have the fragrance of Lemons, and yield by distillation about 
64£oz. from a cwt. of. the dry leaves. — Staiger. 
The wood is a rich red, very hard and durable ; the stems, however, are frequently pipey. —

Hab.: Common in western inland localities. 
Wood grey near the outside, the rest all of a deep-red colour ; useful in building and cabinet- 
work, although rather too hard for the latter purpose.— Bailey's Cat. Ql. Woods No. 190. 
Small branches with their leaves are placed in water to poison fish. The inside bark is beaten 
up and used as a poultice, heated, for snake-bite. — Palmer.
